Dude, read my sig. Yes, they are decent bows, no question. But there IS alot of peer pressure to buy Mathews. They've figured out how to sell bows, and there's no question about that. I've seen quite a few guys come into our shop w/ a buddy that shootsa Switchback. Guy shoots a Trykon or whatever, and actually says the following, (I've heard this more than once) "Yeah, that {whatever bow} is smoother and faster, but my buddies all shoot Mathews so that's what I'm gonna get."

Peer pressure. Plain and simple. Everywhere you look on TV, what do you see? Switchbacks. Like I said, they know how to sell a bow, and they do so very, very well. And not because they're a bad bow, they aren't, but I HONESTLY don't think they are as good as all the hype. But that's my opinion, and everybody has one.
